| 124457 | 2003-02-27 08:49:00 | Slightly confusing description, but it sounds like all you want is a cable splitter! This may involve a trip to Dicksmith Electronics, and manual splitting of the cable, including desheathing, cutting, splitting, only I don't know the exact process. This will only allow you to watch the same Sky channel on both TVs at once, or switch to the normal free-to-air channels on both TVs. You could have your VCR hooked up to both the Sky and normal aerial connections, if it has two inputs, or just run Sky into it (Digital includes the free-to-air channelss). | agent (30) | ||

| 124459 | 2003-02-28 09:02:00 | you could use one of those video sender gizmo's Pretty sure you can only watch the one sky channel at a time and video the chanel you are watching. eg: you can't watch sky movies and tape sky sport. You will have to get another decoder if you want to do that |

| 124460 | 2003-02-28 09:52:00 | If you only have the dish and no tv aerial then you won't get tv's 1, 2 ,3 or 4 without using the sky system. You'll need a tv aerial hooked up to your other tv to make it work. | cadifan (286) | ||
